Zhou Shengchen led his troops to leave Zhongzhou in compliance with the order, but the scene in the court hall was just a drama. Some people knew this very well, just like Liu Wei, he had to do it with his eyes closed and his teeth gritted.

Play your part.

When the Huben army set off, Zhou Yu personally went out of the city to encourage them. The neat military appearance, completely different mental outlook, and uniform response echoed through the sky, which also shocked many people who saw this scene. They didn't know when more people would come.

built such a strong army.

But it happened that such an army only wore sleeveless leather armor, a machete, and a fire stick. There was nothing else.

things, as well as the tightly covered carriages.

The row behind them looked like carriages used by the children of wealthy families. It didn't look like they were going out to fight, but rather like the major families had sent their own private soldiers to protect their young men when they were out traveling together.

In fact, there are indeed groups of three to five hundred private soldiers from various places heading towards Huaibei. The total number is almost 20,000. The purpose is indeed to protect these young men from the Imperial College and the university.

Dude.

Zhou Shengchen had been away with his troops for more than half a month, but every day Zhou Yu could receive military reports sent back by carrier pigeons, and he could understand every move of the army without leaving home in Kyoto.

Although the reason why the army went to Huaibei was to exterminate the rebels, both the aristocratic families and the kings seemed a little nervous along the way. At this critical moment when the emperor was about to take charge, a figure like Zhou Shengchen was sent.

Just to annihilate the Qi family and investigate some kind of rebel party, a discerning person would know at a glance that there might be something evil going on. It is simply overkill and underuse.

Not to mention that the Qi family has not responded yet, Huaibei and other nearby aristocratic families have also not responded. Even if there was a response, Zhou Shengchen led an army of 50,000 to go over and put on a show.

Even if the current emperor trusts Zhou Shengchen, it is not such a trust. It is clear that the emperor wants to show off his power and give the people of the world a show of strength before he takes charge. He means to tell the people of the world that Xizhou

The army is under the emperor's control.

In this way, Zhou Yu's goal of showing force and presence by knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger was easily achieved. Everyone knows that Zhou Shengchen, the Little Nanchen King who controls hundreds of thousands of troops, is a proper emperor's sect, with a different surname of Wang or

I won’t say it’s a noble family or something like that.

Anyone who dares to rebel will be punished as a matter of course. Regardless of whether Zhou Shengchen is from the emperor's faction, even if Zhou Shengchen doesn't take action, other members of the Liu clan will pounce on them and bite them to pieces.

But the princes of the clan who had some ideas in their minds immediately stopped and did not dare to have any more ideas. This week's birthday has made it clear with his attitude that not just anyone named Liu can take the throne of emperor. Originally, he wanted to use the Queen Mother and Qi to take the throne.

The clan's affairs have stirred up troubles, but now they no longer have such thoughts.

Just assume that everyone thinks that Zhou Shengchen's march to Huaibei has only two results. One is to arrest members of the Qi family and return to Beijing for trial, and then involve them in a big way. He can also find a reason to deal with the disobedient families on the way. After rebelling against the party,

It is nonsense to say that there is no way to exterminate the rebel party and lead a group of young men in the war.

The other is using Qi as an excuse to do something else.

But who could have imagined that Zhou Shengchen did everything during his trip, and the development of things often exceeded the imagination of some people who were always paying attention to the situation.

The Qi family really rebelled. They imprisoned the Queen Mother under the pretext of Zhou Yu and forced the Queen Mother to death. And now Zhou Yu was not the real emperor, but just an impostor. They said that the real prince wanted to avoid the high family of the empress.

The persecution has actually been hidden in Huaibei. The reason is that the current emperor does not have the crown prince seal at all.

He also roped in more than a dozen aristocratic families, large and small, in Huaibei, and the city guards of several cities in Huaibei. A prince of the opposite sex who was guarding them really rebelled.

The total number of these rebel forces has far exceeded the 50,000 army formed by Zhou Shengchen's 30,000-strong army from Xizhou. Looking at the situation, it is obvious that Zhou Shengchen is at a disadvantage, and it will be a long-term, huge war.

A war that could spread across the country.

As for the Southern Kingdom, they were immediately overjoyed when they saw that there was such excitement here. They immediately sent troops to the border of Xizhou, acting as if they might attack at any time, and the whole country suddenly became lively.

"A sneeze."

In the imperial garden, Zhou Yu sneezed inexplicably and then rubbed his nose, then continued to touch his tummy. Sitting in the pavilion beside him were the absent-minded Yu Shiyi, Jin Zhen'er, and Concubine Li and Concubine Liu.

The four of them were playing chess and flying chess while looking at Zhou Yu who didn't care about many things happening in the outside world. Everyone had some worried expressions on their faces.

Jin Zhen'er has the most outspoken personality, and she felt a little unhappy when she saw Zhou Yu's appearance. She whispered to Ji Shiyi next to her: "Queen, now that the country is in such turmoil, why can your majesty do anything else?"

It’s like nothing happened here, playing with pets.”

Yan Shiyi was a little embarrassed. He looked at Zhou Yu and was very worried. He couldn't sit still when he heard Jin Zhen'er's question. However, Zhou Yu reminded him again and again that he could not get involved in politics. As a queen, there is nothing wrong with it.

An act of crossing the line.

All she could do was comfort Jin Zhen'er and say: "Sister, don't worry. Your Majesty is so sure because he knows it well. We shouldn't think too much about the affairs of the court."

Jin Zhen'er was dissatisfied, and was even more angry at Zhou Yu and Min Shiyi: "I'm afraid the queen is unaware of the danger of the situation. My father has already sent a letter. The southern country has sent troops to the frontier, and there have been changes in the northern grasslands. Besides, Huaibei is already in a dangerous situation."

At the border, many aristocratic city guards and kings with different surnames rebelled, and now the door is wide open."

"My father also said in the letter that turmoil has begun to occur in many places in the country. How can you not care about it, Queen? People everywhere now say that Your Majesty is a fake emperor. What should we do if we can't handle this well?"

"If you don't ask, then I'll ask."

With that said, Jin Zhen'er stood up and walked towards Zhou Yu: "I'm sorry to bother Your Majesty, I have some questions to ask Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Jin Zhen'er: "I know you can't sit still, you have such a strong temper, and I know you have a direct temper after we have been together for many years."

"I can answer you if you want to ask, but before you ask, let me ask you first, which is more important to you, power or family? If one day I am no longer the emperor but become a prisoner, you will rely on your father's hand.

Do you want to transfer your power to others, or are you willing to become a prisoner with me? What do you care about?"

Zhou Yu's unconventional question immediately stunned Jin Zhen'er, and then she said in shock and sadness: "Why would your Majesty miss me so much? No matter where your majesty is, I will always be your concubine, even if your majesty

Even if I become a prisoner, I will still stay with Your Majesty for the rest of my life."

"But who would want to be a prisoner if they can live like they are now?"

Seeing Jin Zhen'er's eyes were a little red, Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly, stood up and held Jin Zhen'er's hand: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I shouldn't miss you so much, don't

I'm crying, can I apologize to you?"

Jin Zhen'er bit her lips and turned her head away, nodding lightly. Zhou Yu didn't care what she was thinking, and led her to the pavilion: "You are all worried, right? You shouldn't interfere with the government and the military.

But this time the matter is a bit big, so I can tell you something to calm your mind."

"The prince's seal in the hands of Mrs. Qi is real, but I personally gave it to the head of the Qi family. The whole rebellion is actually a trap. Some people are really rebelling, but some are just pretending to rebel. In short, everything is in

Don't bother with the rest of what is under control. Seeing you happy every day will make me happy, and my mind will be clearer."

"On the other hand, if you sigh every day, it will also affect my mood. Do you understand?"
